Maxwell —a car of rare charm and—able ‘OUR first impression of this present day Maxwell as it passes’ you on the street is one of decided beauty. Your first ride in it, whether at the wheel or in the 4 tonneau, tells you of its rare charm. But after six months you find a new admiration for the vd Maxwell. You find it shuns the repair shop, that it runs and vs runs and runs and never stops running. on Then after a year is past you develop an enthusiasm for it that dictionary words don’t seem to fully describe. And then after you have had it for more than the average life of a motor car and you find it far better than even the Maxwell salesman said it was you search for the reason. This is what you find: For 5 years Maxwell cars have been built on the single chassis plan. To date 300,000 have been turned out on this plan.’ Each car better than the other. Each one better look- ing than the other. There have been more than 1000 refinements in the Maxwell, but never once have the Maxwell executives swerved from the original program, Ses 4222 You conclude that reliability was designed “into” the car and built “into” it, and that a policy of 300,000-all-alike is the soundest kind of reason for writing your check for a present day Maxwell. woe More miles per gollon More miles om tires Seattle Automobile Company Distributors Seattle's Pioneer Automobile Dealer 1101 East Pike Street Telephone East 462 ed Ha, gr ee SPEEDING UP main obligations of everybody its features year of 1919 business who has the prosperity of the coun- 1 1 en « jonal men, as well as peo-| try at heart. “ T r number of walks of life, who, in 1918 ep ate cage hy m 80 to 50 per cent of FORD MAN HERE wal it to patriot tivities, are, C, C.
